Pros

Your co-workers are honest, genuine people who care about you and your family. Opportunities for those willing to put in the extra work. Good work-life balance in some areas, but getting harder to find.

Cons

Promotions are getting more political each year. Lots of hoops to jump through for promotions, but they don't apply to everyone. Promoting philosophy changes every few years from "broad expereience" to "depth of experience" then back again. Executive leadership is out of touch with markets.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
